I doubt you read all 900+ pages, OP. Quit memeing and just fucking read it already.

Eh it's no Shakespeare but it's okay. The pessages where Cervantes lets Quixote spew commonsensical platitudes for pages about everything from warfare to mainting a kingdom because WOAH DUDE HES LIKE ACTUALLY INTELLIGENT BUT STILL A LOCO AHAHAHAHA, those are entirely skippable.

No one considers how frightening windmills actually are. They kind of look like swastikas if you stare at them spinning.

It's hard to be crazy without intelligence.

>tfw learning spanish to read quixote in original

>>9961282
I'm pretty sure it is not written in Spanish you learn.

>>9961282

Why shouldn't he?

>>9961303
It was one of the motivations, not the only one obviously. It helped me a lot when traveling in Spain and Mexico. I'm also able to read some mid-tier Spanish lit like Shadow of the Wind or Isabel Allende's meme books, albeit slowly and with consulting dictionary. I feel I'm still far from the level required to read Quixote comfortably, though.

Also:
>David Ben Gurion learned Spanish so that he could read Miguel de Cervantes' novel Don Quixote de la Mancha in its original language, a book he considered a prerequisite to becoming an effective statesman. This achievement demonstrated his fierce will and determination to learn whatever he needed to learn to accomplish what he envisioned.
